Colleagues may like to see a new medical
history website launched by the Science
Museum last week:
www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife
draws on the Museum’s medical history collections,
including the great Wellcome collection,
to portray the history of medicine,
primarily for school students and undergraduates but potentially for all those
interested in history of medicine.
The site launches with 2,500 new images,
and this will grow over the next year to 4000. Each is linked to an
interpretative framework as well as having its own specially written caption.
Interactives and teacher tools help the site provide not just individual
records but also an integrated learning resource.
